Abstract
In this paper, various locations of an Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag on automotive license plates have been considered based on the radiation pattern of the tag antenna. A small, 130 × 50 mm, passive loop antenna type UHF RFID tag for an automotive license plate was simulated with an EM simulation CST program. It was designed to have a larger back-lobe radiation pattern since the front side of the tag faces the back side of the plate holder to protect the tag antenna from bugs and dust when the automobile runs. The tag was attached to the side of a license plate holder with a dimension of 520 × 110 mm, the typical size of the standard license plate. The reflection coefficient of the tag antenna is −21 dB at 920 MHz, and the gain of the tag antenna is 6.29 dBi at the back-lobe. The reading range of the tag antenna with the plate holder, which was measured in an open field, is about 10.3 m, and the reading range of the tag installed on the bumper from the front of the vehicle is 9.4 m. The tag antenna is small enough to apply to a real automobile, and it is applicable because it uses the back-lobe pattern, so it does not require an extra device for protection from damage.
